As a tribute to Zim Ngqawana, who left this world much too early, here's his concert from 2009's Willisau Jazz Festival. Zim must be jamming in that other place with Kippie, Dudu, Mankunku, Manenberg and all the other cats that left us all too soon.

To be honest I had not heard of Zim_Ngqawana prior to his passing and he is/was someone I should have been at least, aware of. I downloaded this concert out of curiosity and was immediately impressed by the strength and quality of his playing. Suffice it to say, another talent taken too early. William Parker's remembrance of Rashied Ali only adds to the poignancy. Thanks again for being a portal to great music.
Great stuff. Lyrical free jazz - reminds me of Sam Rivers and his free-form, patient explorations and multi-instrumentalism – with a slight African feel to it. Thanks so much!

Great stuff, lyrical free jazz, reminds me of Sam Rivers of the 1970s; free-form, patient explorations and multi-instrumentalism. With a slight African feel added to it all. Thanks for sharing!
Any chance of a re-up?
